Dairy products and Turkish vocabulary - Qatar 50 day of siege

It had been the Saudi who brought to Qatar a lots of dairy products before : milk , laban , labneh , sour cream , keshta , creme caramel used to be my favourites . They used to be the cheapest counter . It has been for 50 days that they do not bring it anymore ... In one supermarket where I frequently go - there is a long counter offering dairy products . Two third of it has been always Western ,expensive , medium priced products from France , Germany ,USA even there is one Hungarian cheese brand . When my friends ask me if I find food for us in Qatar then I say - yes . There is no reason to feel sorry for us . Especially when I think of some war torn countries citizens in the area .Some brands disappeared - new ones came. Now the dairy counter - the cheap part is filled with Turkish and British milk . The latter is more expensive , but people understand the labels . As it is in English . The Turkish dairy products do not always have info on them in English . So at the supermarket there is a small help with Turkish words translated into Arabic , English , Hindi , Tagalog . something like this
